Racist Oklahoma Frat's House Mom Filmed Chanting Racist Slurs

Mar 10, 2015
In a 2013 Vine discovered by the University of Oklahoma's student newspaper, a seemingly intoxicated Sigma Alpha Epsilon house mother chants "nigger, nigger, nigger" along to Trinidad James' "All Gold Everything."
Ironically, the Oklahoma Daily identified Beauton Gilbow, 79, by comparing the Vine to her picture featured in a GoFundMe campaign started for her support after SAE national opted to close the school's chapter and suspend all its members for a racist video leaked Sunday. (The GoFundMe was apparently deleted after the Vine surfaced Monday night.)
Earlier Monday, Gilbow was interviewed, along with OU head coach Barry Switzer, by KWTV about whether she had known about the racist song depicted in the leaked video: "I don't know what I'm doing. I mean, I'm in shock," Beauton Gilbow, the SAE House Mother said. "Did you ever get any indication there was anything like this going on?" News 9's Kelly Ogle asked.
"No, no, no. Never heard the song," Gilbow responded.
